Looking for advice. I’m a sr. associate in cyber at a Big 4 on track for a promo to manager in a year. My old employer reached out to me about coming back as an Assoc. Dir., BISO.

Concern is that this BISO role would not have bonuses (nonprofit), so I’d potentially be “throwing away” $ by leaving consulting now. Would opps later on be better having had an associate director role on my résumé before I’m 30? Should I stick it out in consulting? The job is a dream, but short term $ is def less.

I would care less about the job title and more so with what's important such as comp and longterm career goals. Associate director could mean you're an individual contributor or a team leader.

in cyber you can basically name your price - I definitely would shop around

Worry less about the title and more on

1) technical hand on experience you will gain,
2) ability to learn the skills necessary to be a security architect,
3) ability to lead the design and implementation of key security projects and
4) whatever puts you in front of cloud.
